Bio
Van Hawking
Founder of Soho | Former UEE Navy | Tactical Operator
Van Hawking served in the UEE Navy, flying the F7A Hornet Mk I and later transitioning into reconnaissance and stealth operations. His deployments took him across the outer systems, where he earned a reputation for precision, discipline, and strategic thinking. Eventually, he was selected for a covert unit known only in unofficial circles as Black Guard—handling asset extraction, surveillance, and deniable missions off the books.
After leaving the service, Van founded Soho, a civilian org focused on exploration, recovery, and high-risk operations. Built on the values of self-reliance, trust, and execution under pressure, Soho operates with a quiet professionalism that reflects Van’s own approach to the verse.
Whether flying solo or coordinating larger operations, Van prioritizes mission efficiency, clean execution, and supporting those who earn their place beside him.
